The Ultimate Car Hauler
« on: December 05, 2012, 08:36:25 PM »

Due to serious health issues I am selling my Vintage car hauler. This 1952 Studebaker camper is powered by a Studebaker 289 engine, 3 speed with overdrive trans and Dana 60 axle with 4.88 gears. I got 11 mpg on the tow from So.Cal to Bonneville and back last year. Tow to the salt. Sleep at the bend in comfort and enjoy the week. Too many things to list. PM me for a full story.
Dan
P.S. The Avanti has already been sold.

Dan, looks like the perfect truck for One Run. 

Bob, you could save money staying at the Bend... :cheers:

But where would Bob find a 289 Studebaker engine to replace the one in the truck at the salt when he blows it up???? Although I think that camper gets better gas mileage than his current truck....

  Let's see, three trips to Bville divided by two breakdowns equals... no, let  me try this again.... three thousand bucks in fuel divided by two trips equals...... ugh, I never was good at this math stuff..............................................  One run, out................
